How to make a piggy bank with your own hands (video)

To make a piggy bank from a tin can we will need:

tin can of any size and shape
roll of paper towels
PVA glue about 200 gr.
acrylic paints black matte
acrylic paints gold
semi beads
decorative chain
small locks
coins of different denominations
Titan glue
hard and soft wide brushes
black beads (a little)

First you need to cut strips of paper towels about 4-5 cm wide. Dilute PVA glue with water 1:1 in a container with a wide neck. It is more convenient to “work” with a rectangular or square tin can, in the process you will understand “why”.

How to make a piggy bank with your own hands from a tin can

Prepared paper towel strips drop the queues into diluted glue. When removing the workpiece, you need to squeeze it slightly, passing it between two fingers. You should act carefully, without pressure, to avoid tearing the paper. The strip should only be saturated with the adhesive mass, but not soften in it. The resulting strip must be carefully placed diagonally on the tin, creating random folds, like on fabric. Thus, it is necessary to lay the strips on one side of the can and leave the craft until the glue dries. The opposite side is covered in a similar way. In total, you need to make two or three layers of paper towels to make the piggy bank look solid and stylish.

This is what the workpiece should look like:

A completely dried piece can be decorated. First you need to paint it in the base color, for which we take matte black.

Before painting, acrylic paint must be diluted with water in the proportion of 1 part paint: 2 parts water. It is recommended to use a wide soft brush. While painting, try not to miss any folds and fill every millimeter of the future piggy bank with paint.

Now the paint should dry completely. It will take about 5 hours. In the meantime, you can start decorating the lid of the piggy bank.

Decoration of the piggy bank lid with coins, semi-beads and seed beads

First of all, you need to make a bill and coin receiver from the lid. To do this, simply cut a rectangular hole with a knife. To equip the piggy bank with locks, cut out round hole on the sides of the lid and on the piggy bank itself.

Now let's glue the coins using Titan glue. We apply glue to the coins and place them on the surface of the lid in a random order, in a slightly disorderly manner. We decorate the hole for the money with beads, gluing them in the same way as coins. We “fill” the gaps between the coins with black beads.

The penultimate stage of making a piggy bank with your own hands from a tin can is applying gold acrylic paint. To do this you will need a hard wide brush.

There is no need to dilute the gold paint!

The gold decor is applied to the surface of the folds of the piggy bank's trim with light brush strokes, lightly touched with paint. When dry, the gold decor on a black background creates the effect of old red gold, glitters beautifully in artificial light, and looks expensive!

Few people don’t have a piggy bank at home. Some people use it for its intended purpose and collect small change there; for others, the piggy bank serves as a decorative element. But few people know that the history of this item dates back to ancient China, where donations were collected for it.

On such a piggy bank it was necessary to indicate what the collected funds would be used for. Then piggy banks appeared in Rus' and Europe. The piggy bank symbolizes well-being and prosperity among all nations. Thus, among the Germans, the desire for wealth sounds like “pig happiness.” Let's try to make this “pig happiness” with our own hands. There are many ways that you can follow to achieve great results. original piggy bank from a jar with your own hands, as well as from a plastic bottle, cardboard box.

Making a piggy bank from a glass jar

Take a regular glass jar suitable size and screw the lid on it. Make a slot on this lid for money. Basically, the piggy bank itself is made from glass jar already ready. All that remains is to decorate it.

To be more original, let's make a piggy bank square shape. For this we need cardboard:

Cut out two strips from cardboard. One strip is the width of the can. The second is 1 height + can diagonal + 1 height.
These two strips need to be aligned with each other in the place where the bottom of the jar will be, and fastened together using a stapler. This is the first blank for the frame.
We make the second blank. To do this, place the first blank on the cardboard and trace it, adding 1 cm to the allowances on the sides. It doesn’t need to be made so long, leave 3 cm on each side. Cut out the second piece.
In the center of the second workpiece, draw a circle equal to the diameter of the lid and cut it out.
Now you need to put both blanks on the jar. We place the jar in the center of the first blank and lift the edges, and put the second blank on top of the lid and fasten them together with a stapler.
For strength, you can fasten the entire structure with tape.
Dilute PVA glue in water in a ratio of 1 to 1. Cut paper towels into strips. We dip the strips in glue and lay them in waves on the base. This way we decorate the jar on all sides, preferably in several layers.

Important! Before applying a new layer, the old one must dry completely.

Each layer must be painted with acrylic paints. You can choose the color to your liking.

Important! Paint the first layer more dark color no gaps. Paint the next layers with lighter tones.

Now take “Titan” or “Moment” glue, coat the neck and the places where the workpiece ends with it. Place packing rope, woolen thread or burlap on the glue in a circle. Using the same glue and rope, decorate the lid.

Important! On the side you can decorate the piggy bank with bows or buttons or other decorative elements.

Little son came to his father
and the little one asked:
— How to make a piggy bank for coins?...

The little one is already 6 years old, so he made the piggy bank from plaster almost entirely with his own hands, with a little help from his father. My son wanted a piggy bank in the form of a safe.

We managed to make this piggy bank from plaster with our own hands at home:

So that money could not be taken out of the piggy bank whenever desired, we did not make holes for “emptying savings”, like in most purchased piggy banks.

For making a piggy bank as a safe at home will be needed approximately 2 kg of plaster, paint, varnish, preferably acrylic primer and a little imagination.

To make such a piggy bank, you first need to assemble a form (formwork) to fill the walls of the safe. You can make a mold from scrap materials.

To make the mold we used children's construction set and plasticine.

So that later we would not have to cut a hole for coins in the piggy bank, we decided to make it immediately when casting the top cover of the safe; for this we used plasticine. To prevent the plaster from leaking out of the mold, plasticine was sealed around the perimeter of the mold, but as it turned out later, this was not necessary; if the gypsum solution is not too liquid, then it will not leak out anyway.

The gypsum solution must be made according to the instructions on the gypsum packaging. For greater strength, we added a little PVA glue (You can read more about ways to give plaster strength). By the way, it is better to weigh the ingredients for mixing gypsum mortar and use an equal amount of mortar on all walls so that they are the same. To simplify the process, we did everything “by eye”, so the walls turned out to be different in thickness.

One by one, we cast the walls of the piggy bank from plaster.

In this way you need to make 4 walls, only the remaining 3 without holes.

After the glue has dried, you need to make another wall of the piggy bank; to do this, pour the gypsum solution directly into the assembled “box”. The remainder of the solution can be used to strengthen the joints of the safe walls and also to cover up cracks and irregularities.

While the poured plaster is setting, you can make a decorative part of the piggy bank-safe, i.e. lock and handle.

First we wanted to make a keypad with numbers in the form of a combination lock. They planned to cast a thin rectangle from plaster and scratch buttons on it, but then the son changed his mind and wanted to make something like an old spinning castle. For this we used plastic cup from jelly.

Then you need to make the last wall of the safe. To do this, we make the shape a little larger size, than was used for the walls of the piggy bank, pour the mixed gypsum solution into it and place the previously made piggy bank body into it with the hole down.

When the solution begins to set, you need to disassemble the formwork and remove excess gypsum. Uncured excess can be used to cover and smooth out remaining uneven areas.

After the base of the piggy bank has dried, you need to sand off any uneven surfaces.

Because All the walls turned out to be smooth, next we need to make an imitation of the safe door. To do this, we drew the outline of the door and scratched it out with an ordinary awl.

All that remains is to glue the “lock”, cover the piggy bank with acrylic primer, paint and varnish so that the paint does not peel off.

For painting we used silver and black acrylic paint, and the top was covered with acrylic varnish.

This is the piggy bank-safe we made from plaster at home and without the use of specialized tools:

A little crooked, but it was almost entirely made by a six-year-old child :).

Step 4. Carefully tear off the part with the design you like from the napkin. In this case, you should not resort to scissors, since the torn edge will be less likely to be replaced on the finished product. Then very carefully peel off the top layer of the napkin where the design is applied. It is important to choose an image that is proportional to your jar. Please note that after subsequent manipulations the napkin will increase in size.

Step 5. Dilute PVA glue with water in a 1:1 ratio. Place the napkin face down on the file. Spray thoroughly with water using a spray bottle and apply diluted PVA.

Step 6. This is the most important step in creating a piggy bank. Carefully attach the file with a napkin to outside jars, press lightly with your fingers. Then carefully delete the file.

Step 7. Using a dry brush, go over the surface of the napkin. Perform this manipulation from the center to the edges. Gently smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles.

Step 8: Leave the jar to dry completely. Any remaining imperfections (bumps or creases) can be carefully rubbed out using soft sandpaper.

Step 9. To fix the picture, you need to cover the jar with acrylic varnish. It is better to do this in 2-3 layers. It’s just important to let the jar dry after applying each one.
